Bleeding Heart Tetra spawning?

Post by Harry94 »

Hi,

For the first time today my Bleeding Heart Tetras spawned, but in 36 hours I go away for two weeks. What can I do to give the eggs/fry the best chance of survival until I return?

Thanks in advance,

Harry

Tetra fry can be a little delicate. Good water is important as fry suffer in less than ideal conditions. What filter have you got? Are fry gonna be sucked up by it? (a sponge filter would be best).

If it is a well established tank with algae & a little 'mulm' there will be tiny micro-organisms the fry could feed on but if you are away for long things could be tricky...
